Two bodies found in Carroll County

The Monon Trail is one of the most used parks in the state.

This didn't happen on the Monon Trail, it happened on the Monon High Bridge Trail. Two separate things.

Are you proposing doing away with linear parks?

For myself, yes. The railroad easement is supposed to revert back to the property owners on each side. Not be taken for a trail.

It is part of the same rail to trail that is the Monon Trail. If your definition is just in Marion and Hamilton counties it is not that. I believe the long term goal is for the trail to run way up north over time.

Monon High Bridge Trail – 1.5 mile
Between City Park on East Main Street and High Bridge,
this trail traces along part of the abandoned Monon Railroad line. At the top of the slope, where Old Camden Road meets the railroad, is the Centennial Stone, dedicated to General Samuel Milroy, who platted Delphi in 1828. A mile beyond the highway overpass is High Bridge, Indiana’s second highest railroad trestle.

It does make somewhat more sense in urban areas. Not a fan of maintaining blighted corridors of disputed responsibility/ownership myself. Which is what the Monon is in my area.

I’m out. Don’t want to further hijack this thread.

The High Bridge trail, at least in that area, is a very desolate place.
Predators dream

 

[jwamplerusa]

Also a dumb idea to create more of these areas for criminals to hide and operate in.

A better idea is to eradicate the feral humans.

Every one of us should be able to walk public space without fear of anything on two legs.

Sounds like a really poor choice of places for parents to leave their children unsupervised?

 

[Ingomike]

Agree.


Agree.

Also:
Stop creating public spaces from the preemption of property owners/eminent domain.

Would enjoy discussion on this but not here. If you want to discuss I will join you.

Carroll county as a whole, and Delphi in particular, have historically been very quite, quaint, and considered incredibly safe.
This one incident changed all of that.

Any desolate place is safe to leave your 13 year old girls unsupervised?

There were many such places when I grew up.
I don't know of a single one today.

The government granted the evil elements of society too much money, too much free time, and too much legal latitude since then.

When you grew up "parents" were more like parents also. They knew their responsibility.

 

[tbhausen]

So “today could be the day”? Tomorrow wouldn’t be soon enough.

Huh? When I was a kid in the 70s, children were allowed much more freedom to roam and do as they would. In today's world my parents and all of my friends parents would probably be arrested for child neglect.

Typically the rule was be home by dark unless otherwise specified.

I'm still under that rule.

I'm not aware of any current plans to extend the Monon trail that far north. Can you point me to any documented source ffor you r statement?

THe High Bridge was part of the Monon Rails system, but that does not make it a part of the Monon Trail.

Streetlights on.... best have your butt in the house at least to check in.

The trail is not a State project, it is done locally but often with state or federal contributions. The political want to continue its growth, as it is one of the most popular things they do. Many recreational organizations also are working toward that. There is no link to a government document saying how and when they will continue it.

The existing trail was built by communities sections at a time. There have been communities that built their trail that did not connect to the Indy trail for years. If it is on the old Monon railway it is a part of an overall Monon Trail in my book.

Please tell me this questioning is is not a semantics game?

Sure....but all you had to do is keep ahead of one old man lighting the gas lamps.
